Sweet work!!! I picked up the same issue yesterday while I was in the checkout line at the grocery store. I'm going to have a shot at the dog collars (being as new to knitting as I am, they don't look that hard!). They should be pretty quick and easy to crank out, and I can stock a basket full of them to sell at our next Italian Greyhound Rescue fundraiser. Maybe, just maybe, with lots and lots of practice, I can crank out some worthwhile dog sweaters too. Much to learn first!

Edit: oops! I must have the April 2006 issue (I DO know what year this is, honest!!!)
